Improvements of Simulating Approach for Ski Turn

The Engineering of Sport 6

Abstract

One of the authors developed a simulating approach for a ski turn using a single ski and made numerically clear a lot of useful conclusions relating to the ski turn. In the present study, it is attempted to improve the simulating approach just as one can simulate the ski turn using a pair of ski. The first point is the improvement of a ski control. The second point is the change of the analysis of a plane motion of the ski and skier. Numerical calculations make clear that it is possible to simulate the ski turn using a pair of ski although it requires patient works and there remains yet some points to be improved.
